The last of my grandparents passed yesterday at 7:16 am. I am traveling back to the Valley in about 45 minutes to help with the rosary and funeral. I just came back from the Valley on Sunday and I was able to see my grandfather before he died. He recognized me and responded to me so I’m happy I was able to spend time with him before he died. Tomas Salinas Sr. was a WWII veteran. He rarely spoke about his experiences in the war since it was such a painful event in his life. My father is not taking his death very well, but then again, he never takes these things well.
Different people grieve in different ways I guess.
Tomas Salinas Sr. – 1916 – 2006 – Rest In Peace.
